Abstract

A two compartment container adapted for the packaging of intraocular lenses, contact lenses and other small, delicate devices requiring hydrated storage is described. The devices are contained in a first, upper compartment, while a second, lower compartment contains a fluid. The two compartments are placed in fluid communication with each other by means of a narrow passage which prevents the devices in the first compartment from entering the second compartment.
